SynopsisEvil Dead director Sam Raimi takes the helm for this spook-a-blast shocker about an ambitious L.A. loan officer who incurs the wrath of a malevolent gypsy by refusing to grant her an extension on her home loan. Determined to impress her boss and get a much-needed promotion at work, Christine Brown (Alison Lohman) lays down the law when mysterious Mrs. Ganush literally comes begging for mercy at her feet. In retaliation for being publicly shamed, Mrs. Ganush places the dreaded curse of Lamia on her unfortunate target, transforming Christine’s life into a waking nightmare. Her skeptical boyfriend Clay (Justin Long) casually brushing off her disturbing encounters as mere coincidence, Christine attempts to escape eternal damnation by seeking out the aid of seer Rham Jas (Dileep Rao ). But Christine’s time is fast running out, and unless she’s able to break the curse, she’ll be tormented by a demon for three days before literally being dragged to hell. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

We found this video of Sam Raimi (on IGN.com) discussing the plans for Spider-man 4. Read on:

As Spider-Man 3 crawls out of theaters after its blockbuster run, director Sam Raimi is finally speaking more candidly about what he’d like to see happen in Spider-Man 4 and whether he will direct it.

When asked by MTV.com if he’d return to the director’s chair for the fourth installment, Raimi said, “If I can’t find the right story that would work for me and that I could tell really well, I would like someone else to tell that story. … But if it’s a great story and Sony will bring me back to the screen, I would love to.”

So who would he like to have battle Spidey next time around? “I would love to see Electro, Vulture, maybe the Sinister Six as a team. … But [Spider-Man 4] will probably have to start with the central journey of the main character to arrive at the proper villain.”

The Spider-Man 3 news is coming fast and furious at the moment, first with this weekend’s Venom-specific WonderCon trailer and today with the news from Variety that the sequel will open first in Japan on May 1st. The film will also have its world premiere in Tokyo.

The red carpet event will be held at the Toho Cinemas Roppongi Hills in central Tokyo on April 16, with director Sam Raimi, Spidey co-creator Stan Lee, and stars Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, and James Franco all in attendance. The May 1st date was only recently decided on for the film’s debut; that’ll put it three days ahead of when American audiences will get to see the continued adventures of Peter Parker on May 4th.
